Description

Have you ever thought about hiring a running coach for your marathon training? Running coaches aren’t just for professional athletes or career marathoners and can help you achieve your goals by making you faster and stronger. Veteran coach Mark Bravo and his client Cody Perrault are here to explain what coaching sessions look like and what kind of gains you can expect.

Then, we dive into all things Kids Marathon with Nichols Hills Elementary School Principal Aaron Kellart, Kids Marathon Race Director Kelly Burleson and Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum Education and Special Projects Coordinator Margo Naifeh. From how the Kids Marathon works and school rallies to how children with special needs can participate and the importance of teaching children about the events of April 19, 1995, this segment is dedicated to our youngest Marathon Weekend participants.

And last, for Memorial Marathoner and music teacher Tara Light, running and singing go hand-in-hand. She stops by to tell us about her unique Race Day, first singing the National Anthem at the Start Line with her family’s a capella group Wild and Sweet, and then running with them in the relay.
